My Best Shot to defy handicap in Algoa Cup

Oct 31 South Africa (Fairview/Greyville) preview

- 

RACE 1 (1,800M)

(11) CLOUDS CLEARING has held her form in the Western Cape. May be too good for the local runners.

(6) OUTBACK EXPRESS can do better than his last run would suggest and can earn some money.

(7) GREY WARRIOR is back on the grass and is not out of it.

(3) BOMBER BAY is battling to win a race but has claims.

RACE 2 (1,400M)

(4) ROYAL CITY GIRL has ability and deserves another winning turn, so gets the vote to score.

Trainer Alan Greeff had a big meeting on Oct 24 and should have another decent day.

(1) SILVA CITY represents his best chance in this race and she is improving, coming off a good thirdplaced finish.

(2) EAST COAST GIRL has impressed with some easy wins on the Polytrack but she will need to show she is as good on the grass.

(3) SILVAN MISTRESS and (6) NORTH STAR were both not disgraced in their latest starts and are decent back-ups for Greeff.

RACE 3 (1,400M)

(8) HEAVENLY MAFIA has some fair Western Cape form and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals from barrier No. 1.

(10) LOTUS SILK has run well in both her starts and should not be long in winning a race.

(1) DESERT CLOUD has been unlucky not to win either of her last two starts. Blinkers have now been fitted.

(2) LANA VIEW has improved of late and is capable of playing a minor role.

RACE 4 (1,000M)

Trainer Dean Smith has two quality sprinters.

(2) KINGDUNDEE is an improving sprinter who has won six of his nine starts and is at his very best over this distance.

(1) CRUISE CONTROL has not been at his best in his travels but is back at his home track. He is very speedy, goes well for jockey Louie Mxothwa and can bounce back to score.

(3) ANUSCHKA'S WORLD and stable companion (5) ROMAN AGENT are also capable of getting involved with the finish.

RACE 5 (1,000M)
